IRPWA outrage at RUC sectarian targeting of republican parolee

IRPWA are outraged to learn this morning that Republican Prisoner Brian Cavlan has been arrested and charged with breaking his parole conditions and returned to Maghaberry. Brian was collected this morning at the gaol by a close friend, they had only travelled a matter of yards when they were surrounded by the RUC and Brian was subsequently arrested and returned to the Gaol. This RUC arrest comes on the back of Republican prisoner Sean McConville being found guilty yesterday of breaching his parole conditions when he was home on parole a few weeks ago. Sean was found guilty during an adjudication in which he refused to attend as there is currently a JR before the courts around the refusal of Maghaberry to allow legal consultation/legal representation at these adjudications. IRPWA strongly condemn the actions of the RUC and Maghaberry administration. This approach whereby Republican Prisoners out on parole are harassed and hounded and put under constant surveillance by the RUC all to ascertain if they are associating with fellow Republicans can only be described as vindictive and we question this close working relationship between the RUC and the prison service and also question the impartiality of the RUC who have been compiling and presenting so called evidence to the prison to be used in subsequent internal prison adjudications. Our thoughts are with Brian Cavlan's family who had planned a family get together to welcome him home and are now left devastated that he won't be with them today and probably won't be home this Xmas as he most likely will lose his planned Xmas paroles as a consequence of today's actions by the RUC.

The prison system may aswell return the H blocks as far as the treatment of republican prisoners goes! Strip searches, degrading attitudes and non stop harassment!

And the harassment continues when they are released. Non stop surveillance and stopped from meeting certain people ect;
